Exhibition: Never In My Wildest Dreams
Description
A picture speaks a thousand words. And it is time we started speaking more openly about the scourge of homelessness in Belfast city and beyond.
For over 10 years the Westcourt Centre has worked to highlight the issue of Homelessness as part of its ‘Still Somebody – Voices for Change’ initiative.
Members of the Westcourt Centre Camera Club have worked alongside residents in supported accommodation in Rosemount House to produce a photographic exhibition which aims to increase awareness of and encourage discussion around the grim reality of homelessness in Belfast city. No one dreams that they will end up homeless. The images you will see are powerful, evocative and speak the truth about the issues that force people into homelessness. Our hope is to use images to highlight the scale and scope of the problem here, show that it can happen to anyone and draw attention to some of the circumstances and reasons why people can become homeless.
